Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, bring beef broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
